Former general store from a town established in the 1890s. A post office was established in 1913 which by this time town was located on both sides of the tracks, near the rail station. Soon the town store (possibly this one), a hotel, a saloon, and a lumberyard all of which were built near the tracks. In 1933 a new highway was built which bypassed town and soon the town disappeared with the few residents moving to be nearer the "new town" site.

Night, near full moon, 180 second exposure, protomachines set to white and green.

For several hours this afternoon, my AuroraWatch app had been pinging red alerts. I've not seen the nT disturbance levels that high in a while so I took a chance and drove a few miles from home in the hope of catching Aurora Borealis over West Burton Power Station in Nottinghamshire.

So as per usual as soon as I even think about shooting an Aurora sky, the damn thing disappears with indecent haste.

So undeterred, I set about creating a star trail image, taking advantage of the rare clear sky.

This is 180 images of 15 seconds each at ISO 640 all stacked in Photoshop. Not a hint of Aurora to be seen. Damn. Again.

Stille

Abend senkte sich hernieder,
Stille füllte ganz den Raum,
alte Träume kehrten wieder,
Seele atmete noch kaum,
lauschte tiefer noch nach innen,
hörte jeden leisen Hauch
kommen, gehen und verrinnen
und die eigne Stille auch.
